CreaTures greaT and sMall

in the beginning, before there was earth or sky and before creatures of every kind lived on the earth, everything was dark.

Then God said, “Let there be light!” and light shone in the darkness. God was so pleased that he made the land, the sea, and the sky. God filled the earth with flowering plants and trees bearing fruit. he made a hot bright sun to bring light to the day and a silvery moon to brighten the dark night sky.

God filled the seas with colorful creatures and the skies with songbirds, buzzing insects, and delicate butterflies.

God made animals—spotted, striped, and patterned; crawling, climbing, hopping, and galloping. Then God made a man and a woman, adam and eve, to take care of the world he had made. They were his friends, and they were happy.

Then God rested from the work of creation.

noah builds an ark

God spoke to noah one day.“There is going to be a flood that will cover

the whole earth,” God said. “Build an ark and fill it with all sorts of creatures so that they will be safe.”

So noah built the ark. it was huge!People laughed at noah and said unkind

things to him. But when it was finished, two by two, birds and animals of every kind came to him, and he took them inside the ark.

Then it began to rain. For forty days and nights it rained. There was nothing to be seen anywhere but water.

after the rain stopped and the water went down, the earth was clean and new and dry once more. The trees were green with new leaves. everything smelled sweet. a bright rainbow filled the sky.

noah, his family, and all the animals were ready to start again.

Joseph The dreaMer

Joseph had always been a dreamer. it was partly because of his dreaming that he was in egypt instead of at home with his father, Jacob, and all his brothers.

But while he was in prison in egypt, Joseph helped the king’s butler and baker to understand their dreams. When the king started having strange dreams, the butler made sure Joseph was asked to help.

“God is showing you the future,” Joseph told the king. “There will be seven years of great harvests followed by seven years with none at all. God is helping you to survive in the bad times ahead.”

So it was that Joseph the slave became a great ruler in the land of egypt, making sure that grain was stored and that no one went hungry.

The time was coming soon when he would be able to help his family too—and they would all

come to live with him in egypt.

MiriaM and The prinCess

Miriam was pleased when she saw her new baby brother. But Miriam’s mother looked worried. She knew that she had to hide her little son. The bad king of egypt had given orders that all the baby boys born to the israelites should be drowned!

Soon the baby was too big to hide, and he cried too loudly! Miriam watched as her mother placed him in a basket by the river nile. She waited as an egyptian princess came to the river to bathe. She watched the princess find her little brother, and then Miriam heard her say that she wanted to keep him.

“i will call you Moses,” the princess said.“Shall I find someone to take care of him

for you?” Miriam asked the princess. When the princess said yes, Miriam went to fetch her mother.

now Moses was safe with the princess while his mother took care of him.

esCape FroM egypT

When Moses grew up, God’s people were still slaves in egypt—and the king treated them very cruelly.

“Tell the king to let my people go!” God said to Moses. But the king would not listen. even after nine terrible plagues of frogs and flies and biting insects, God’s people were still slaves in egypt.

Finally, God sent the angel of death. The angel passed over the homes of all God’s people, but every firstborn Egyptian male died that night.

“Take your people and go!” the king shouted at Moses.

The israelites left egypt that night with all that they owned, but by the time they reached the red Sea, they saw that the king was coming after them with his army and his best chariots.

Then God sent a strong wind to blow back the waters so the israelites could cross safely to the other side. and God’s people were free.
